The massive Pacific Palisades fire spread northeast on Saturday and is now threatening multi-million dollar homes in Brentwood.

More than 12,000 structures have been destroyed in the Los Angeles fires this week after Democrats like Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen bass slashed fire department funding by millions of dollars.

At least five people have died in the Pacific Palisades fire.

Gusty Santa Ana winds and dry fire hydrants are making it nearly impossible for firefighters to contain the fires.

Mandatory evacuations were underway after a wall of flames quickly moved toward Brentwood on Saturday morning.

Firetrucks were parked in a Brentwood neighborhood preparing to fight the fast-moving blaze.

CBS News reported:

After killing at least five people, the Palisades Fire continued to burn east toward the 405 Freeway and San Fernando Valley, prompting more evacuation orders and warnings in Brentwood and Encino.

The Getty Center, which survived a fire in 2019, was in one of the evacuation warning zones.

“Getty Center is complying with the current evacuation order and it’s closed with only emergency staff on site,” the museum said in a statement.

The Getty Villa closed when the Palisades Fire first started on Tuesday.

“Fortunately, Getty had made extensive efforts to clear brush from the surrounding area as part of its fire mitigation efforts throughout the year,” J. Paul Getty Trust President Katherine Fleming said about the Getty Villa. “Additional fire prevention measures in place at the Villa include water storage on-site.”

Multi-millionaire Hollywood actress and singer Mandy Moore told everyone to “F Off” after she posted a GoFundMe for family who lost everything in the Los Angeles fires.

Several fires spread across Los Angeles County this week after Democrat Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass failed to prepare for fire season.

Karen Bass slashed fire department funding by millions of dollars.

Newsom and California’s Democrat legislators prioritized fish over building new reservoirs so the hydrants ran dry.

Out-of-touch Hollywood actress Mandy Moore turned to internet begging to help her in-laws after they lost their home.

At the time of this publication, the GoFundMe for Mandy Moore’s brother-in-law has raised more than $200,000.

Mandy Moore lashed out at critics and told them to ‘kindly F Off’ as she begged the public to contribute to her brother-in-law’s GoFundMe.

“Yesterday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Griff & Kit lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire,” Mandy Moore wrote on Instagram. “With their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever. Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living. It’s all so much.”

Mandy Moore told critics to “Kindly F Off.”

“And people questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic. Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this go fund me and i’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. no one is forcing you to do anything.”

President Trump has been unduly mocked by Democrats and corporate media journalists regarding his desire to purchase Greenland from Denmark. But he now has the Danes and Greenland’s full attention.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump for months has pushed for purchasing the world’s largest island and is not ruling out possible military action. He argues that Greenland becoming part of America is absolutely necessary for national security.

Trump is, of course, correct. The Arctic island is rich in natural resources and holds immense geopolitical value due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle and the presence of U.S. military assets, including Thule Air Base.

Moreover, China and Russia are circling Greenland seeking to take advantage of the islands enormous potential. Buying Greenland would enable the U.S. to seize control of the Arctic and deal a heavy blow to the ambitions of their two biggest global adversaries.

During a press conference Saturday, a journalist asked Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede if he had spoken to President Trump regarding Greenland. Egede said “no” but that he was ready to.

“We are ready to do so (talk),” he said. “I think we are both ready to increase dialogue and reach out.”

“And therefore also talk about things that bring us together in the world we live in.”

Egade reiterated that he does not wish for Greenlanders to become Americans. However, the fact that he will speak with the soon-to-be 47th president shows the effectiveness of Trump’s bold ideas and dealmaking.

Meanwhile, Axios revealed Saturday that Denmark sent Team Trump a private message regarding the possible future of the island. While they still do not want to sell Greenland to America, they are open to discussing bolstering security on the world’s largest island or increasing the U.S. military.

They are also open to any other request from Trump outside of giving up territory.

No other president has been able to accomplish what Trump has done so far on Greenland, and he now stands in an incredibly advantageous position even before taking office. Even if Greenland does not become part of America, our national security will almost certainly be enhanced to the detriment of the Russians and Chinese.

But if Trump decides to go all or nothing on a Greenland purchase, it would be unwise to underestimate the man who wrote the world-famous “The Art of The Deal” all those years ago.

Legendary actor, director, and Oscar-winning producer Mel Gibson has revealed that his $14.5 million Malibu mansion was reduced to ashes during the raging wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles County.

Gibson spoke with Elizabeth Vargas by phone and opened up about the emotional toll of losing his longtime home, describing the devastation.

On Friday, Gibson spoke with Laura Ingraham to discuss the aftermath and shared his assessment of California’s failed Democrat leadership.

Laura Ingraham: You’ve heard a lot of people say a lot of things about these fires. Obviously, the winds were horrific, but they were predicted. I know you know that last weekend, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, they said this could be tragic with these winds if any fire starts. Do you believe in what you know so far, anything could have happened like this?

Mel Gibson: Yeah, well, one always suspects that this might happen, but one thinks that the resources and the capabilities of the men and women will be on standby, that they’ll be able to cope with any situation that comes up.

But apparently, some people were asleep on the job, mainly our leaders there. But that’s something they have to live with, but that’s something that community has to live with, it’s really sad. I have many friends that are looking for a place to put a roof over their heads. Kids, they’re traumatized.

Someone should answer for it, but we’ll see. I think we know who the culprits are.

In fact, my son was just… He’s a member of the Volunteer Fire Brigade. He interfaces between LA County Fire and people, and they assist them where they can during, before, and after the blaze.

Apparently, the residents in Corral Canyon caught an arsonist up there. The guy was all tooled up with fire gear and equipment and stuff like ready to go. He had been lighting fires, but they corralled the guy in Corral Canyon and gave him to the police.

The two then discussed what may replace the single-family homes that were lost.

Mel Gibson: Well, I know they were messing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another, they’ve been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that baffle the mind as far as why they do things and then in the events like this, you look, is it on purpose? Which it’s an insane thing to think.

But one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be? Do they want the state empty?

Laura Ingraham: Well, Mel, there’s already talk, and we played a couple of sound bites of reimagining the way rebuilding occurs. Obviously, there’s a great need for high-density housing in California and across the country. That’s a big push by the folks, and you’re already hearing rumblings of that. In this case, like goodbye, single-family homes. Hello, high-density housing.

Mel Gibson: Yeah. It’s pretty scary, and it’ll take decades to do that, too. Even if it’s a good idea, which I don’t know if it is, but it reminds me the old cattle barons clearing people off the land. But I don’t know.

I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water and that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires. Are they commissioned to do so or are they just acting on their own volition? I don’t know. But they seem pretty well equipped, some of these people that they’re catching.

Gibson concluded with his thoughts on the failed Democrat leadership in California and had biting words for Newsom.

Laura Ingraham: Mel, any message from you to Governor Newsom or Karen Bass tonight?

Mel Gibson: Spend less on hair gel. That’s it. What can I say to them? Not big admirer of either, but there you go.

As America impatiently awaits January 20th to begin living its new Golden Age, many foreign leaders worldwide are desperately scrambling to be awarded a coveted invitation to Donald J. Trump’s historic inauguration as the 47th US President.

The New York Post reported:

“By custom, foreign leaders don’t attend inaugurations of U.S. presidents, but Trump has thrown that precedent out the window, setting off the scramble after inviting Chinese president Xi Jinping to the Jan. 20 ceremony. Xi has already turned the offer down, with a top emissary expected to attend instead.”

Many heads of state are mobilizing their agents in Washington, D.C., to be included in this exclusive event.

“’They’re all going crazy. Chile, Peru, Nigeria, Mozambique’, said one registered foreign agent, who added the leaders ‘were champing at the bit to attend’. For most, the answer is likely no.

‘I tell my clients the truth. You’re not going to be able to go. If you’re Costa Rica, there is just no way you get invited to this inauguration. What is the value add? You are not bringing business or major companies from your country’.”

Trump will be sworn in at noon by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, on the west front of the Capitol building.

After that, a multitude of balls and parties will then take place all over Washington.

Foreign leaders want to get a leg up in bringing their issues before the incoming administration and its allies.

But Trump has focused on inviting leaders close to him politically.

“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she had been invited and would try and make it. Argentina’s Javier Milei has been invited and plans to go. El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele — who has turned the nation around by cracking down on gang violence — has also been invited, as has former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

Another world leader who has been making furious overtures is Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky — who has publicly expressed interest in wanting to go as well. Trump has not formally invited the embattled Ukrainian leader but said last month that ‘if he’d like to come, I’d like to have him’.”
